From Violin to Vin Jaune: How Eleven Madison Park’s Wine Director Rethinks Luxury in the Glass
At three-Michelin-star Eleven Madison Park in Manhattan, the wine list is as storied as the dining room. For Wine Director Adam Waddell, the job isn’t just about curating bottles; it’s about orchestrating emotion, memory and discovery — often in fewer glasses than before.

He arrived in New York City in 2010 to study classical violin performance,…
